I'm using command docker run -e GRB_WLSACCESSID=xxxxxxx to set environment variables for Gurobi authorization. The OS of container is Ubuntu 16.04. This is OK if I login the container via SSH interactively and read the environment variables by python code os.getenv().

But, when I add this container as remote SSH interpreter in Pycharm and execute the python code along Pycharm, I can't get the environment variables.

At last I found the problem is that the environment variables generated by docker run -e can only be read by interactive shell. This can be validated by executing ssh root@x.x.x.x env, and interactively execute env after logging into the container. The former outputs less.

One possible solution is write some configuration manually after the container is generated, e.g., set the variables in /etc/environment (provided by this).

The other possible solution is add the variables manually in Pycharm edit configuration.

Is there a more elegant solution? :(

I finally understood the specific meaning of the relevant answers

It means, in the remote VM or container, create a linux script file named mypython as the python wrapper with the content:

#!/bin/bash -l
/path/to/interpreter/bin/python "$@"

, where /path/to/interpreter/bin/python is the path to the python interpreter. For conda interpreter, it might look like /root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/python.

The script mypython should be placed in the same path as binary python, i.e., /root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/mypython

And then add the execute permission to mypython:

chmod +x /root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/mypython

The above two steps can also be executed by command as an alternative:

echo '#!/bin/bash -l
/root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/python "$@"' > /root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/mypython
chmod +x /root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/mypython

At last, add the SSH interpreter in Pycharm, make sure the interpreter path is /root/miniconda3/envs/py37/bin/mypython

And the problem is solved.
